We’ve been following HBO’s new fantasy series Game of Thrones since before it aired the first episode. The potent mix of action, drama, intrigue, sex and several nice looking females has made the show a must-watch.

As we’ve been doing for a few weeks now, we’ve got a preview for Sunday’s new episode to share with you today. In this new episode, entitled “A Golden Crown,” Ned is back in action as the Hand.

While sitting in for the King while Robert is on a hunt, he issues a decree that could have long-term consequences throughout the Seven Kingdoms. Meanwhile, at the Eyrie, Tyrion confesses to his “crimes,” and demands that Lysa give him a trial by combat.

Also in the episode Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) apologizes to Sansa, Viserys receives his final payment for Daenerys from Drogo (Jason Mamoa) and other equally visual and visceral goings on. Should be fun.

Check out both preview videos after the jump. Games of Thrones airs on Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.
